No. 15/017,964, filed Feb. 8, 2016, which claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-063930, filed Mar. 26, 2015. The entire disclosures of the aforementioned applications are expressly incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND 1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to an electro-optical device which is provided with a mirror, a manufacturing method of the electro-optical device, and an electronic apparatus.

2. Related Art

As an electronic apparatus, for example, a projection-type display apparatus or the like is known which displays an image on a screen by enlarging and projecting modulated light using a projection optical system after light which is emitted from a light source is modulated by a plurality of mirrors (micro mirrors) of an electro-optical device referred to as a digital mirror device (DMD). As shown in FIG. 11, the electro-optical device which is used in the projection-type display apparatus and the like is provided with an element substrate 1 which is provided with a mirror 50 on one face is side, a spacer 61 which is adhered on the one face is side of the element substrate 1 so as to surround the mirror 50 in planar view, and a plate-like light-transmitting cover 71 which is supported on an end section opposite from the element substrate 1 of the spacer 61. In addition, for example, the electro-optical device has a sealing substrate 90 on which a concave shaped substrate mounting section 93 is formed and which is surrounded by a side plate section 92, and the element substrate 1 is fixed on a bottom side of the substrate mounting section 93 using an adhesive 97, then is sealed using a sealing resin 98 which is filled into the substrate mounting section 93.

In the electro-optical device which is configured in this manner, light passes through a light-transmitting cover 71 and is incident on the mirror 50, and the light which is reflected by the mirror 50 passes through the light-transmitting cover 71 and is emitted. At that time, a temperature of the element substrate 1 or the like may increase caused by the light which is irradiated on the one face 1 a of the element substrate 1. The increase in temperature is not preferable due to causing malfunctions and reduction in life of the electro-optical device.

Meanwhile, a technique in which a contact area between a device and a sealing resin is widened is proposed as a method for increasing heat dissipation of a device in which the sealing substrate 90 is mounted (refer to U.S. Pat. No. 7,898,724 B2). For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a front face of the sealing resin 98 is configured to come into contact with the light-transmitting cover 71 at a position which is higher than the side plate section 92 of the sealing substrate 90. According to the configuration, it is possible to increase transmission efficiency of heat from the light-transmitting cover 71 to the sealing resin 98.

However, using the configuration which is illustrated in FIG. 11, there is a problem in that it is not possible to sufficiently suppress temperature increase of the element substrate 1 since the heat transmission efficiency of the sealing resin 98 itself is reduced even though the transmission efficiency of heat from the light-transmitting cover 71 to the sealing resin 98 is increased.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are explanatory views schematically illustrating a cross section along line A-A′ in FIG. 2A of the main section of the electro-optical device 100 to which the invention is applied, FIG. 3A is an explanatory view schematically illustrating a state in which a mirror is tilted to one side, and FIG. 3B is an explanatory view schematically illustrating a state in which the mirror is tilted to another side.

As shown in FIGS. 2A to 3B, in the electro-optical device 100, a plurality of mirrors 50 are disposed in a matrix form on one face is (first face) side of an element substrate 1, and the mirrors 50 are separated from the element substrate 1. For example, the element substrate 1 is a silicon substrate. For example, the mirror 50 is a micro-mirror in which one side length has a planar size of, for example, 10 to 30 μm. For example, the mirror 50 is disposed with an array from 800×600 to 1028×1024, and one mirror 50 corresponds to one pixel of an image.

A front face of the mirror 50 is an opposite face formed of a reflective metallic film of aluminum or the like. The electro-optical device 100 is provided with a first level portion 100 a which includes a substrate side bias electrode 11, substrate side address electrodes 12 and 13, and the like which are formed on the one face is of the element substrate 1, a second level portion 100 b which includes elevated address electrodes 32 and 33, and a hinge 35, and a third level portion 100 c which includes the mirror 50. On the first level portion 100 a, an address designating circuit 14 is formed on the element substrate 1. The address designating circuit 14 is provided with a wire 15 or the like of a memory cell, a word line, or a bit line for selectively controlling the operation of each mirror 50, and has a circuit configuration which is similar to a random access memory (RAM) which is provided with a CMOS circuit 16.

The second level portion 100 b includes the elevated address electrodes 32 and 33, the hinge 35, and a mirror post 51. The elevated address electrodes 32 and 33 are supported by the substrate side address electrodes 12 and 13 while conducting to the substrate side address electrodes 12 and 13 via electrode posts 321 and 331. Hinge arms 36 and 37 extend from both sides of the hinge 35. The hinge arms 36 and 37 are supported by the substrate side bias electrode 11 while conducting to the substrate side bias electrode 11 via an arm post 39. The mirror 50 is supported by the hinge 35 while conducting to the hinge 35 via a mirror post 51. Accordingly, the mirror 50 conducts to the substrate side bias electrode 11 via the mirror post 51, the hinge 35, the hinge arms 36 and 37, and the arm post 39, and a bias voltage is applied from the substrate side bias electrode 11. Here, stoppers 361, 362, 371, and 372 which prevent contact between the mirror 50 and the elevated address electrodes 32 and 33 are formed to abut with the leading ends of the hinge arms 36 and 37 when the mirror 50 is tilted.

The elevated address electrodes 32 and 33 configure a driving element 30 which drives such that the mirror 50 is tilted by generating electrostatic force with the mirror 50. In addition, there are cases where the substrate side address electrodes 12 and 13 are also configured so as to drive such that the mirror 50 is tilted due to electrostatic force being generated with the mirror 50, in this case, the driving element 30 is configured by the elevated address electrodes 32 and 33 and the substrate side address electrodes 12 and 13. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, in the hinge 35, a driving voltage is applied to the elevated address electrodes 32 and 33, the hinge 35 twists when the mirror 50 is tilted so as to be pulled toward the elevated address electrode 32 or the elevated address electrode 33, and a return force is exhibited in a posture of the mirror 50 parallel to the element substrate 1 when suction force is eliminated with respect to the mirror 50 by stopping application of the driving voltage with respect to the elevated address electrodes 32 and 33.

As shown in FIG. 3A, for example, in the electro-optical device 100, the mirror 50 tilts to the elevated address electrode 32 side at one side, and an ON state is reached in which light which is emitted from the light source section 1002 is reflected toward the projection optical system 1004 by the mirror 50. In contrast to this, as shown in FIG. 3B, the mirror 50 tilts to the elevated address electrode 33 side on the other side, and an OFF state is reached in which light which is emitted from the light source section 1002 is reflected toward a light absorbing device 1005 by the mirror 50, and in the OFF state, the light is not reflected toward the projection optical system 1004. The driving is performed for each of the plurality of mirrors 50, and as a result, the light which is emitted from the light source section 1002 is modulated to image light using the plurality of mirrors 50 and projected from the projection optical system 1004, and an image is displayed.

Here, a yoke with a flat plate form which faces the substrate side address electrodes 12 and 13 is integrally provided with the hinge 35, electrostatic force which is generated between the elevated address electrodes 32 and 33 and the mirror 50 is applied, and the mirror 50 is driven by also using electrostatic force which acts between the substrate side address electrodes 12 and 13 and the yoke.

Sealing Structure of Electro-Optical Device 100

FIGS. 4A to 4C are explanatory diagrams of the electro-optical device 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the invention, FIG. 4A is a sectional view of the entire electro-optical device 100, FIG. 4B is a sectional view illustrating an enlarged periphery of the mirror 50, and FIG. 4C is an explanatory view of the lead terminal.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, in the electro-optical device 100 of the embodiment, at least a portion (for example, a portion on which the mirror 50 is formed) of one face is on which the mirror 50 is formed (first face) of the element substrate 1 on which a plurality of the mirrors 50 are formed that are described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 3B is sealed by a sealing member 110 which includes a frame shaped spacer 61 and a flat plate form light-transmitting cover 71 which has translucency. In addition, the electro-optical device 100 is provided with a substrate 90 which is formed of ceramic and the like as the sealing member 110, and the element substrate 1 is fixed to a concave form substrate mounting section 93 of the substrate 90, and then is sealed by a sealing resin 98. On the substrate 90, the substrate mounting section 93 is a bottomed concave section which is enclosed by a side plate section 92, and the element substrate 1 is fixed using an adhesive 97 on a bottom plate section 91 of the mounting substrate 90. In the embodiment, an aluminum nitride substrate with high thermal conductivity is used as the substrate 90. A metal-based adhesive such as silver paste or the like with high thermal conductivity is used as the adhesive 97.

Here, the end section 61 e on the element substrate 1 side of the spacer 61 is adhered to the one face is of the element substrate 1. In addition, the spacer 61 is formed so as to surround the region in which the mirror 50 is formed in planar view (for example, in planar view when viewed from the one face is side of the element substrate 1). The light-transmitting cover 71 is supported on an end section 61 f and is adhered to the end section 61 f on the opposite side to the element substrate 1 of the spacer 61 via an infrared cut filter 79 which will be described later. In other words, the spacer 61 is positioned between the element substrate 1 and the light-transmitting cover 71. In this state, the light-transmitting cover 71 faces the front face of the mirror 50 at a position at an interval of a predetermined distance from the mirror 50. In other words, the sealing member 110 is provided such that the mirror 50 is positioned between the light-transmitting cover 71 and the element substrate 1. Accordingly, as indicated by an arrow L in FIG. 4B, light passes through the light-transmitting cover 71 and is incident onto the mirror 50, then the light which is reflected using the mirror 50 passes through the light-transmitting cover 71 and is emitted. In the embodiment, the light-transmitting cover 71 is made of glass. The spacer 61 may be made of any one of glass, silicon, metal, ceramic, or resin, and in the embodiment, a glass substrate or a silicon substrate is used as the spacer 61.

On the one face is of the element substrate 1, a plurality of terminals 17 are formed on end sections which do not overlap with the mirror 50 in planar view (further outside than the spacer 61). In the embodiment, the terminals 17 are disposed in two rows so as to interpose the mirror 50. A portion of the plurality of terminals 17 are electrically connected to the elevated address electrodes 32 and 33 (driving element 30) via the address designating circuit 14 and the substrate side address electrodes 12 and 13 which are described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 3B. Another portion of the plurality of terminals 17 are electrically connected to the mirror 50 via the address designating circuit 14, the substrate side bias electrode 11, and the hinge 35 which are described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 3B. Yet another portion of the plurality of terminals 17 are electrically connected to a driving circuit or the like which is provided at the front of the address designating circuit 14 which is described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 3B.

Here, the terminal 17 is electrically connected by a wire 99 for wiring bonding to an internal metal layer 94 which is formed on an inner face 91 s on the element substrate 1 side of the bottom plate section 91 of the mounting substrate 90 since the opposite side from the element substrate 1 is in an open state. The bottom plate section 91 of the substrate 90 is a multi-layer substrate, the internal metal layer 94 conducts with an external metal layer 96 which is formed on an outer face 91 t on a side opposite from the element substrate 1 of the bottom plate section 91 via a multi-layer section 95 which is formed of a through hole and a wire that are formed on the bottom plate section 91.

The sealing resin 98 is provided inside (in a concave section) of the side plate section 92 of the substrate 90. The sealing resin 98 covers the side face of the light-transmitting cover 71 from the middle in a thickness direction while covering around the element substrate 1 and around the spacer 61.

Temperature Increase Measure 1

In the electro-optical device 100 configured in such a manner, there is a temperature increase of the light-transmitting cover 71 and the element substrate 1 caused by light which is irradiated toward the mirror 50. Here, in the embodiment, the infrared cut filter 79 is provided with respect to the light-transmitting cover 71. In the embodiment, the infrared cut filter 79 forms a film such as a dielectric multilayer film which is laminated with respect to the light-transmitting cover 71. In the infrared cut filter 79, reflectance with respect to visible light is extremely small with respect to a reduction in an amount of permeation of infrared rays by reflection of light of an infrared region.

Here, the infrared cut filter 79 is laminated on at least one of a face 71 s (second face) facing the mirror 50 of the light-transmitting cover 71, and a face 71 t (third face) opposite from the face 71 s facing the mirror 50 of the light-transmitting cover 71. In the embodiment, the infrared cut filter 79 is laminated on the entire body of the face 71 s on the mirror 50 side of the light-transmitting cover 71. For this reason, the spacer 61 is adhered to the light-transmitting cover 71 via the infrared cut filter 79.

According to the configuration, when a light which is irradiated toward the mirror 50 passes through the light-transmitting cover 71, the entirety or a great amount of a light component in the infrared region caused by heat generation is removed by the infrared cut filter 79. Accordingly, even if a portion of the irradiated light reaches the one face is of the element substrate 1, the light component of the infrared region is either not included in light which reaches the element substrate 1 or is slightly included. In addition, when the light which is irradiated toward the mirror 50 passes through the light-transmitting cover 71, although the light component of the infrared region in light passing through is included, the light component of the infrared region is either not included in light which is reflected by the mirror 50 and passes through the light-transmitting cover 71 or is slightly included. Accordingly, in the light-transmitting cover 71 and the element substrate 1, since it is difficult for an increase in temperature to be generated, it is possible to suppress malfunctions and a reduction in life of the electro-optical device 100 which is caused by an increase in temperature of the element substrate 1 and the like.

Temperature Increase Measure 2

In the electro-optical device 100 of the embodiment, a plurality of lead terminals 40 which conduct to the external metal layer 96 of the substrate 90 extend from the substrate 90 toward the outside, and the lead terminal 40 has a bent section 42 that is bent in a direction in which a second connecting section 44 of the lead terminal 40 is away from the substrate 90. In further detail, the lead terminal 40 has a first connecting section 41 which is connected to the external metal layer 96 of the substrate 90, an intermediate section 43 which extends obliquely from the end section of the first connecting section 41 due to the bent section 42, and a second connecting section 44 which is formed of a leading end section that is parallel to the first connecting section 41 by being bent to the outside at an end section of the intermediate section 43. Accordingly, when the second connecting section 44 (leading end section) of the lead terminal 40 is connected to an electrode 155 of a circuit board 150 which is provided in the projection-type display apparatus 1000 which is illustrated in FIG. 1 using solder or the like, a space is interposed between the substrate 90 and the circuit board 150 since the substrate 90 is in a state of being separated from the circuit board 150. Accordingly, it is possible to increase heat dissipation from the electro-optical device 100 by passing a fluid body such as air, which is indicated by arrow H, between the substrate 90 and the circuit board 150. Accordingly, it is difficult for temperature to increase in the element substrate 1 or the like. Therefore, it is possible to suppress malfunctions and a reduction in life of the electro-optical device 100 which is caused by an increase in temperature of the element substrate 1 or the like.

In addition, the plurality of lead terminals 40 are respectively provided with a plurality of fin-shape convex sections 45 which protrude in a direction which intersects from the intermediate section 43 between the bent section 42 and the second connecting section 44 with respect to an extension direction of the lead terminal 40. In the embodiment, the plurality of fin-shape convex sections 45 are provided on both sides in the direction which intersects with the extension direction of the lead terminal 40. For this reason, when the fluid body such as air which is indicated using the arrow H passes between the lead terminals 40, heat dissipation from the lead terminal 40 is performed with good efficiency. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress malfunctions and a reduction in life of the electro-optical device 100 which is caused by an increase in temperature of the element substrate 1 or the like.

Temperature Increase Measure 3

In the electro-optical device 100 of the embodiment, a heat dissipation unit 120 is attached to the outer face 91 t opposite from the element substrate 1 of the bottom plate section 91 of the substrate 90. In the embodiment, the heat dissipation unit 120 is a heat sink in which a plurality of heat dissipation fins 122 protrude from a block 121 to the opposite side from the substrate 90, and the heat sink is made from metal such as aluminum or copper.

In the embodiment, a heat dissipation external metal layer 96 r is formed on the outer face 91 t of the bottom plate section 91 of the substrate 90, and the block 121 of the heat dissipation unit 120 (heat sink) is fixed to the heat dissipation external metal layer 96 r using solder or the like. Here, a heat dissipation internal metal layer 94 r is formed on the inner face 91 s of the element substrate 1 side of the bottom plate section 91 of the substrate 90, and the heat dissipation internal metal layer 94 r and the heat dissipation external metal layer 96 r are connected using a heat dissipation relay metal section 95 r which is formed inside a through hole. For this reason, heat of the element substrate 1 is transmitted with good efficiency to the heat dissipation unit 120 via the heat dissipation internal metal layer 94 r, the heat dissipation relay metal section 95 r, and the heat dissipation external metal layer 96 r. In addition, the fluid body such as air which passes between the substrate 90 and the circuit board 150 passes within a heat dissipation fin 122 as indicated by an arrow H. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress malfunctions and a reduction in life of the electro-optical device 100 which is caused by an increase in temperature of the element substrate 1 or the like, since the heat of the element substrate 1 escapes with good efficiency from the heat dissipation unit 120.

Here, FIG. 6B omits illustration of the mirror and the like, and FIGS. 5A to 5D illustrate the number of mirrors 50 being reduced in comparison to in FIGS. 4A to 4C, and three mirrors 50 being formed on one element substrate 1.

As shown in FIGS. 5A and 6B, in the manufacture of the electro-optical device 100 of the embodiment, in the first wafer preparation process, the first wafer 10 on which the terminal 17 is formed that is electrically connected to the driving element 30 (refer to FIGS. 2A to 3B) which drives the mirror 50 is prepared at a position adjacent to the mirror 50 in planar view (for example, in planar view when viewed from the one face 10 s side of the first wafer 10), while the mirror 50 is formed in each region in which the element substrate 1 is split on the one face 10 s (first face) of a large first wafer 10 which is able to take a large number of the element substrates 1. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5A, 6A, and 6B, the first wafer 10 may be prepared by forming the driving element 30 (refer to FIGS. 2A to 3B) that drives the mirror 50 and the terminal 17 at a position which is adjacent to the mirror 50 in planar view, while the mirror 50 is formed in each region in which the element substrate 1 is split on the one face 10 s of the large first wafer 10 which is able to take a large number of the element substrates 1.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the second wafer forming process, a large second wafer 20 is prepared which is able to take a large number of the spacers 61 and the light-transmitting covers 71. The infrared cut filter 79 is provided on the entire face which includes a region which overlaps with the concave section 21 while the concave section 21 in which the bottom section has translucency is formed on the second wafer 20. Here, it is sufficient if the infrared cut filter 79 is formed in at least the region which overlaps with the concave section 21.

In the forming of the second wafer 20, in the second wafer forming process, for example, the processes which are illustrated in FIGS. 6C to 6F are performed. First, as shown in FIG. 6C, the light-transmitting wafer 70 which has translucency and is able to take a large number of light-transmitting covers 71 is prepared, then in a first process which is illustrated in FIG. 6D, the infrared cut filter 79 which is formed of a dielectric multilayer film or the like that is formed on the one face 70 s of the light-transmitting wafer 70. The light-transmitting wafer 70 is made of glass. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6E, the spacer wafer 60 which is able to take a large number of spacers 61 is prepared, and then in a second process, a through hole 66 for configuring the concave section 21 is formed on the spacer wafer 60 by a process such as etching. The spacer wafer 60 may be made of any one of glass, silicon, metal, or resin, and in the embodiment, the spacer wafer 60 is made of glass or silicon.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6F, in a third process, the spacer wafer 60 is adhered by overlapping with the face 70 s side of the light-transmitting wafer 70 (side on which the infrared cut filter 79 is formed). As a result, the second wafer 20 on which the spacer wafer 60 and the light-transmitting wafer 70 are laminated is formed, on the second wafer 20, a fourth face 20 s of the second wafer 20 which is provided with the concave section 21 is configured using the face 60 s of the spacer wafer 60, and a fifth face 20 t of the second wafer 20 is configured using a face opposite from the spacer wafer 60 of the light-transmitting wafer 70 (or alternatively, a face opposite from the fourth face 20 s). In addition, one opening end of the through hole 66 is closed by the infrared cut filter 79 and the light-transmitting wafer 70, and the bottom section is the light-transmitting concave section 21.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, in the adhering process, the one face 10 s of the first wafer 10 and the fourth face 20 s of the second wafer 20 are adhered such that the concave section 21 overlaps with the mirror 50 in planar view.

Next, in the splitting process shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D, a laminated body 100 s is obtained with a single item size which is provided with the light-transmitting cover 71 which faces the mirror 50 and the element substrate 1 which is provided with the mirror 50 and the terminal 17 by a laminated body 130 being split into the first wafer 10 and the second wafer 20. In the splitting process, first, in the second wafer dicing process shown in FIG. 5C, the second wafer 20 is diced by causing a second wafer dicing blade 82 to enter from the fifth face 20 t of the second wafer 20. As a result, the second wafer 20 is split, out of the second wafer 20, the light-transmitting cover 71 is configured using a flat plate portion which is split from the light-transmitting wafer 70, and the spacer 61 is configured by a frame portion which is split from the spacer wafer 60. Next, in the first wafer dicing process which is illustrated in FIG. 5D, dicing is carried out on the first wafer 10 by causing a first wafer dicing blade to enter a cutting location (between the adjacent light-transmitting covers 71 and between the adjacent spacers 61) of the second wafer 20 from the second wafer 20 side with respect to the first wafer 10. As a result, a plurality of laminated bodies 100 s are manufactured on which the one face is of the element substrate 1 on which a plurality of the mirrors are formed is sealed by the spacer 61 and the light-transmitting cover 71. Here, in the embodiment, a circular shape wafer is used, but a planar shape, a rectangular shape, and the like may be used.

With respect to the laminated body 100 s which is obtained using the above process, a process which is illustrated in FIGS. 7A to 7E is performed in performing sealing using the substrate 90 and the sealing resin 98 which is illustrated in FIGS. 4A to 4C.

As shown in FIG. 7A, first, the substrate 90 that becomes a concave section which is surrounded by the substrate mounting section 93 in the side plate section 92 is prepared, then, as shown in FIG. 7B, the element substrate 1 of the laminated body 100 s is fixed to the heat dissipation internal metal layer 94 r on which the bottom section of the substrate mounting section 93 (the inner face 91 s of the bottom plate section 91) using the adhesive 97. Next, as shown in FIG. 7C, the terminal 17 of the element substrate 1 and the internal metal layer 94 of the substrate 90 are electrically connected by the wire 99 for wiring bonding. Next, as shown in FIG. 7D, the sealing resin 98 is injected inside the side plate section 92 of the substrate 90 prior to curing, then the sealing resin 98 is cured, and the element substrate 1 is sealed using the sealing resin 98. As a result, it is possible to obtain the electro-optical device 100 on which the element substrate 1 is sealed using the spacer 61, the light-transmitting cover 71, the substrate 90, and the sealing resin 98.

In addition, in the electro-optical device 100 of the embodiment, in a heat dissipation unit attachment process which is illustrated in FIG. 7E, the block 121 of the heat dissipation unit 120 is fixed to the heat dissipation external metal layer 96 r which is provided on the outer face 91 t of the bottom plate section 91 of the substrate 90 using solder or the like.

Furthermore, in the electro-optical device 100 of the embodiment, a lead frame 46 is used which is illustrated in FIG. 8A, in the process illustrated in FIGS. 9A to 9C, the lead terminal 40 which is described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4C is attached to the substrate 90. A lead frame 46 which is shown in FIG. 8A is connected to two linking sections 47 which extend parallel to each other using a linking section 48. In addition, in the two linking sections 47, the lead terminal 40 extends from the other side toward one side while the lead terminal 40 extends from the one side toward the other side.

Accordingly, in the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 9A, the substrate 90 which the laminated body 100 s seals is disposed between the two linking sections 47, and the first connecting section 41 forming an end section of the lead terminal 40 and the external metal layer 96 of the substrate 90 are connected using solder or the like.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 8C and 9B, a root portion of the lead terminal 40 of the lead frame 46 is cut, and the lead terminal 40 and the linking section 47 are separated.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9C, the bent section 42 is formed by performing a bending process in the lead terminal 40, and the second connecting section 44 (leading end section) is away from the substrate 90 in an oblique direction. As a result, the electro-optical device 100 which is illustrated in FIGS. 4A to 4C is completed.

Embodiment 2

FIG. 10 is a sectional view of the electro-optical device 100 according to Embodiment 2 of the invention. Here, since the basic configuration of the embodiment is the same as in Embodiment 1, common portions are given the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 10, the electro-optical device 100 of the embodiment is the same as in Embodiment 1, and has the element substrate 1 on which the mirror 50 and the terminal 17 are formed and the sealing member 110 which seals the element substrate 1. In addition, the sealing member 110 includes the light-transmitting cover 71 which faces the mirror 50 from the opposite side from the element substrate 1, and the substrate 90 on which the concave shaped substrate mounting section 93 is provided inside which the element substrate 1 is disposed. However, in the embodiment, the spacer 61 and the sealing resin 98 which are described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4C and the like are not used. For this reason, in the embodiment, the opening end of the substrate mounting section 93 on the substrate 90 is closed using the light-transmitting cover 71 which is fixed to the side plate section 92 of the substrate 90. Accordingly, it is possible to simplify the structure of the electro-optical device 100. In addition, in the embodiment, the side plate section 92 of the substrate 90 and the light-transmitting cover 71 are fixed using sealing glass 115. Accordingly, the reliability of the sealing portion of the side plate section 92 of the substrate 90 and the light-transmitting cover 71 is high.

In the electro-optical device 100 which is configured in this manner, the temperature increase measures 1, 2, and 3 which are described in Embodiment 1 are also adopted. In detail, the infrared cut filter 79 is laminated with at least one of the face 71 s on the mirror 50 side of the light-transmitting cover 71, and the face 71 t opposite from the mirror 50 of the light-transmitting cover 71. In the embodiment, the infrared cut filter 79 is laminated on the entire body of the face 71 s on the mirror 50 side of the light-transmitting cover 71. In addition, in the electro-optical device 100, the lead terminal 40 which extends outside from the substrate 90 has the bent section 42 in which the second connecting section 44 of the lead terminal 40 is bent in a direction away from the substrate 90. For this reason, a space is free into which the fluid body such as air, indicated by the arrow H, passes between the substrate 90 and the circuit board 150. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the heat dissipation unit 120 (heat sink) is provided on the outer face 91 t of the bottom plate section 91 of the substrate 90. Accordingly, since it is possible to suppress the temperature increase of the element substrate 1, it is possible to suppress malfunctions and a reduction in life of the electro-optical device 100 which is caused by the increase in temperature of the element substrate 1 and the like.
